OH my.
Hornbeam Tree (Good Taste) -- of cool beauty, cares for its looks and condition, good taste, is not egoistic, makes life as comfortable as possible, leads a reasonable and disciplined life, looks for kindness and acknowledgment in an emotional partner, dreams of unusual lovers, is seldom happy with its feelings, mistrusts most people, is never sure of its decisions, very conscientious.
???? dreams of unusual lovers ????
*blink*
LOL!

Rowan tree here. Most of it is me. The "unforgiving" part is questionable though. I can only think of one person that I have not forgiven. Everyone else has received my forgiveness. Gotta work on that one person, though.

Heya Bizzie, this one is for you!
Its general distribution is not wide, being confined to the temperate parts of Western Asia and of Europe, its northern limit being stated at 55 deg or 56 deg, though it occurs somewhat north of this in the Island of Gothland.
The Hornbeam, according to Sir J. E. Smith, is generally "a rigid tree, of humble growth, but when standing by itself, allowed to take its natural form, will make a much handsomer tree than most people are aware of." It does not often exceed forty or fifty feet in height, or from three to four feet in the girth of the trunk. A carefully-grown seedling, however, which has never been lopped, may grow into a fine, straight-stemmed, round-headed tree, seventy feet in height and nine feet in circumference, resembling a Beech, but having its more slender boughs compacted into a closer outline.
As, however, the Hornbeam is peculiarly tolerant of the pruning-knife, and its branches yield excellent firewood, it is seldom allowed to become a timber tree, and almost all the old trees of the species in this country are pollards. In these the trunk is generally flattened and twisted, as though composed of several stems grown together, or "fasciated." This, in fact, does occur, as also does "inosculation," or the union above of branches which are separate below, a mode of growth more peculiarly characteristic of the Beech, a tree which the Hornbeam resembles in not a few particulars.
The flattened or irregular outline of the stem is, however, due, in part at least, to an irregularity in its internal structure, the transverse structures known as medullary rays, being exceptionally large and wide apart, so as to break up the annual rings of wood into local patches, as it were, accumulating more in one part than in others.
"Betulus, or the Hornebeam tree, grows great, and very like vnto the Elme, or Wich Hasel tree, hauing a great body, the wood or timber whereof is better for arrowes and shaftes, pulleies for mills, and such like deuises, than Elme or Wich Hazell; for in time it waxeth so hard, that the toughnesse and hardnesse of it may be rather compared vnto horn than vnto wood, and therefore it was called Hornebeame, or Hardbeame; the leaues hereof are like the Elme, sauing that they be tenderer; among those hang certain triangled things, vpon which be found knaps, or little heads of the bignesse of Ciches, in which is contained the fruit or seed; the root is strong and thicke. . . . . The Hornebeam tree is called in Greek Suyia, which is as if you should say Coniugalis, or belonging to the yoke, because it serueth well to make Suyia of, in Latine, Juga, yokes wherewith oxen are yoked together, which are also euen at this time made thereof . . . and therefore it may be Englished Yoke Elme." . . .

Bizman, my next post in this thread is dedicated to you, sweety. ;-)
Corsetry, I realize that Moon's aligning and Starts revolving and eclipsing and Animal Years all have something to do with our cosmic make-up ... unfortunately about all I know of cosmic make-up is e=mc squared. Maybe, if you know more on this subject, you could tell us a little about it?? I'll read it AND pay attention! lol
